Hints and Tips

Make your photos go up up and away in popularity with a few helpful tips when shooting balloon flights. Hot air ballons can make beautiful subjects in landscape photos, with their bright colours and relaxing appeal. Although balloons move at a slow pace, you'll want to use a relatively fast shutter speed in order to beat the blur. Also, unless it's a bright day, a medium to high ISO can help to deliver a fast shtter speed. I would set the AF to continuous mode in order to help keep ibjects sharp as the balloon passes. As a final tip, I would equip my camera with a superzoom lens for versitility. You dont want to be loosing photo opportunities while you change lens.
